Hey everyone! Recently I'm thinking about how to use two operating systems on my Yoga without the need of dualboot.After some research I found out that many mainboards aren't able to boot from USB 3.0 or upwards. Since USB2 is way too slow for a decent performance, I'd like to refrain from that as an option. Been checking the UEFI and have only seen the option boot from USB, which does not specify if it's able to boot from USB3.0 (that has often to be differentiated). Now, I don't own a external ssd with USB 3, so I cannot test that myself. So, does the Yoga 510-14IKB support booting from USB 3.0 devices? Kind regards,kazumo P.S.: Does anyone know the technical aspect to why booting from USB 3.0 is not available everywhere? Been trying to figure it out and so far I don't see a reason why, since USB 3.0 has two lanes, one of which is equal to a USB 2.0

I have a Lenovo Yoga with a 1TB HDD.My laptop has been working perfectly fine until i updated audio driver, radeon driver bios and 2 windows 10. Upon restarting after updates installation, my laptop would not boot anymore.

I would like to change the boot logo in BIOS (because it is recenty ugly ). I have already found a solution at the ittutorials.net (How to change the BIOS boot screen logo image on Lenovo Laptops) but it does not work with Yoga 530 14IKB.The WINUPTP step dose not works, because but I clicked to the Update ThinkPad BIOS and after the Next button I received an error message. Has anyone any soluion? Or do you have any other idea how can I change the boot screen logo? Thank you!

I've recently (13th of April) bought new Yoga 530-14IKB. It has adequate CPU i3-8130U, which is faster than i5-6200U in my sister's Acer laptop, but I anyway don't play any games. Despite that, its battery life isn't good. It works about 3-3,5 hours in Chrome. In task manager I've noticed that Yoga Mode Control is constantly using 15-30% CPU and its battery usage is described as very high. After disabling it, I can't switch to the tablet mode and keyboard and touchpad don't turn off. Is there somebody who has Yoga laptop and experience similar problem?

Hi, I bought my Lenovo YOGA 530-14IKB 3 months back, it worked fine, but I started to notice that bottom right quarter of the touch screen is not working, It is working when screen is at exact 90 degrees in laptop mode but when I tilt the screen back by some 10-15 degrees the bottom right part of the touch screen is not working. The lenovo pen is working fine on this section of screen. Facing same issue in tablet mode also. I don't think this is software issue, maybe the connection at the hinge got screwed up. The laptop is still under warranty. All the Drivers are up to date. Can I get a replacement if I go to service center or is this a software issue which can be solved ?

Hey. I bought my Yoga 520-14IKB (Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, 256gb NVMe SSD, GeForce 940MX) 2 month ago, had no problems, till last week. Now sometimes i experience such a strange behaviour. Mainly i work on my laptop in normal mode, and sometimes, during such work, it can false trigger a tablet mode for a few (2-3) seconds (notification appers), which causes the keyboard to switch off for this time, despite the fact, that it still stands as a normal laptop, not even close to position, which triggers the yoga mode. How can i fix this? System is Windows 10 April 2018 Update, have all the latest drivers and latest version of BIOS.

Hello!I am trying to find out if DisplayPort is supported on the following two models: - Yoga 710-14IKB (80V4003LMX)- Yoga 900S-12ISK (80ML000RMX) I need to drive UHD TVs (4K at 60fps) and various high resolution displays using DisplayPort (HDMI 1.4 only supports 4K at low refresh rates). It seems to be difficult find out looking through the documentation provided by Lenovo. I have come across some info though: Yoga 710-14IKB:The documentation on http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/yoga/700-series/yoga-710-14/#80V4000GUS under "Ports" states that: "Micro HDMI?""DisplayPort? (combo with HDMI?)" This indeed seems to indicate that DisplayPort is supported, but I cannot find any info on how this works. - Is DisplayPort supported by the Yoga 710?- If so, what kind of adapter is needed, and where can this be found? Yoga 900S-12ISK:This machine has an USB-C "USB 3.0 port with Video-out". I have found a Lenovo USB-C to HDMI Adaptor-NA (GX90K37871): https://www.cnet.com/products/lenovo-usb-c-to-hdmi-adapter-external-video-adapter/specs/but so far I have not seen any USB-C to DisplayPort adapter from Lenovo.When an USB-C port has video capabilities, it is usually DisplayPort available (I have seen reviews of Yoga 900S that this actually is the case for the Yoga 900S. - Is DisplayPort supported by the Yoga 900s?- If so, what kind of adapter is needed, and where can this be found?&n...

I got this laptop in Jan this year, and basically it's been great except for some strange CPU behaviour which I need answers for...Mine has the following configuration: i7-8550u / 16gb RAM / 512gb PCIe SSD / MX150 SituationOut of the box, when under heavy load / doing stress tests the CPU refuses to go beyond 2ghz on all 4 cores. But in regular use clock speeds on all 4 cores do spike to almost 4ghz sometimes. Basically it seemed quite glaring to me that the CPU wasn't performing as well as it is capable of. Turbo boost was acting strangely. My investigationsTried using throttlestop to fiddle with settings and it looked like turbo boost wasn't fully enabled by default. Throttlestop enabled me to let turbo boost run indefinitely without the 2ghz cap. However over time I noticed that my CPU easily rose to temps beyond 80C (in short bursts) even in regular use. This was with the default TDP limit configured to be 18.75W. So in order to test the system's cooling performance, I did a CPU & GPU stress test at the same time using XTU & Furmark and CPU temps went into the high 90s and caused my system to crash. Same thing happened even after I lowered the TDP to 15W. All of this happened despite undervolting the CPU. For context ambient temps here are usually ~30C, and regular use temps are perfectly fine at ~40-50C (excluding the above). So now fearing that longevity might be affected cause of consistent heat spikes I have reset all s... Read more

Hi all, I do not know if this was already asked before, the only question similar to this was asking whether you can charge a yoga 530 over type c. My question is if it is possible to use the type c to connect a hub which then connects to several usb devices and hdmi. Is this all possible over the type C connection of the yoga 530-14IKB? I am looking at this particular dock:https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07919ZNB4/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza Should this work?Regards

Hello, I came here to ask Lenovo Staff for any feedback. Week ago I've bought Yoga 710. After few days of use its front left corner went up, it became unstable on flat surface. Pads aren't the problem and everything is fine if notebook is closed. I left it open with some book to keep it flat over night to see if it helps, it did but only for a while. I've search through this forum if anyone had such issue and Lenovo Support members claimed several times that it should be returned as this is covered by warranty. Sides are stiff and solid but the whole front is pretty much flexible. I could flex it myself but this can damage internal parts which I'd like to avoid. So I took pictures, contacted local Lenovo Support (Poland) about it. Surprisingly they've refused to help by claiming that this is "cosmetic defect". I've asked twice, told them about statements here and I don't blame them, but there's clearly some misunderstanding. Here's the picture of how it looks like. It would be great if someone could clarify why I can't receive warranty service while I read here others did. I still have week to return it to store but this model (with Kaby Lake) isn't available anymore so they can't replace it for me and yet it's not their fault. I'd like to keep it, stay fair and have my issue resolved. Best Regards, Simon. o/

Hey, I bought new laptop for work and sometimes for gaming ( Yoga 710 940mx i7-7500). Earlier I had a Lenovo z710 840m i5-4210 and guess what.. Once a week I play one game "The Crew". On my older laptop I had 30 fps on Medium, now on my new laptop i have got >20 fps on low with 1280x720. Now I've got question: why is this happening?(940mx>840m and i7-7500>i5-4210) I know that yoga isn't a gaming laptop but c'man...

Model 81C80066UK running bios 2.13. The Crucial UK site offers three 16GB sodimm's it says are compatible but different speeds:- DDR4-2400, DDR4 PC4-19200 ? CL=17 DDR4-2666, DDR4 PC4-21300 ? CL=19 DDR4-3200, DDR4 PC4-25600 ? CL=22 Am I going to have to tweak bios to use the higher rated ones, or will they work out of the box?

Hello, I am on the verge of upgrading my HDD and RAM. My question lies with the RAM. My original setup had a single 4GB DDR4-2400 module installed. Since then I could only locally source a 8GB DDR4-2133 module, which i installed and it has worked, although my laptop seems to be running hotter than usual and has on occassional overheated and rebooted. (i am suspecting it has to do with the quality of the RAM module installed. (i have repeatedly double checked the ventilation slots etc are dust free etc.)Based on the suspision of bad RAM and me wanting to get max productivity out of my yoga520 I have decided to buy quality RAM online and have it shipped, rather than use the locally found product. My question lies with the Data Rate & Bus speeds. Will the motherboard downspeed the faster spec'd ram modules? What is the cap speed for this motherboard anyway? is it worth paying extra for a 16Gb DDR4-3200 or 2666?I am aware that the motherboard can only support a max of 1x 16Gb RAM. Any input will be appreciated. Thank you.

Hello, Lenovo. I've got problem with unworking fan. For this moment I tried next things: Physical accurate cleaning of fan and surroundings from dust and suchlike things. Nothing prevents fan to move it's blades (huh, blades? I don't know how it's calling)Checking connection and reconnecting fan from\to motherboard.Reinstalling Windows back to the clear version.Installing all "recommended" drivers from your support part of website.Updating BIOS to the newest version that you've offered for this laptop model.Second reinstalling of Windows but now not from Windows Settings, but from special .iso file from Microsoft's support website.Always doing checking by Lenovo Diagnostic Tool. Also, I've tried to get something from sidepart apps like SpeedFan.Stresstest with expectation of reacting temperature sensors on overheating and turning on fan.Laptop was bought from LenovoIsrael ~1 year and 2 months ago. One day (the last sunday, I think) fan just stop working and laptop, obviously, become overheating every time I'm doing some work on it. Now is the last night before really important exam for me and I can't prepare doing tests online for three days because of lags caused by overheating.There is screenshot from Lenovo Diagnostic Tool. Also, I've added dxdiag (i dunno if you need this) and msinfo32. There was no alert messages like "I cannot run Win10 because of missing fan" or something like that. Laptop is just continue working as everything is ok. &n... Read more

Hello,I have this question about my computer and if it is possible to insert a sim card in it. At the moment I am using my phone as a wifi hotspot - my phonecompany now offer me a second sim card as I can put into my tablet - only problem that I don't have one. Now I'm thinking if it is possible for me to use it for my laptop. And if it is possible how so?Sorry but I have thrown the manual away and I can't find information about it on the internet./Baykus

Hi there, I have read the psref specs for the model and it says the maximum RAM is 16GB however the processor spec (i5-8250U) says that it supports up to 32GB of memory.My question is if there is a chance to get 32GB working or this is some chipset limitation on this model? Regards

Hello, I have a lenovo yoga 520 14IKB, 120 GB SSD, 8 GB ram and NO HDD. As I recently had Wifi connection issues, I opened the computer to fix that (the cable popped out after a pretty rough plane ride). While in there, I saw that I had a SSD, as stated before. but I also saw that i have a unused space to put in another HDD/SSD. I believe that the SSD used in my system is a m.2 sata SSD (I am not really sure as I am not really familiar with computer hardware), and it is located directly behind the connector for the 2.5 inch drive bay thing. The question now is wether or not I can simply install an HDD into that bay, and use it alongside the boot SSD to use it to store photos, documents etc. I should probably also mention that in sopace of a harddrive or 2.5 inch ssd, there was a "ciuya hdd dummy brk" in the drive bay. I hope to get quick answers, Thanks.

Hi! The other day I was in Corte Ingles, a store in Barcelona, Spain, where they are selling the Yoga 710-14IKB.It has an i7 proccesor. 8GB ram. 14 inch screen. Windows 10. Price ?1099.90 The problem is the keyboard. It has the Spanish leter ñ on it. In my Dutch alphabet we don't have that. Filled with excitement I wanted to order it online. However, it does not exist here Does anyone have an idea how to get it now? Kind regards, Kees

Hello!I have Lenovo Yoga 520 14IKB (Model name 81C8). I can not say when and how, but my fan stopped working. When the laptop is turned on, the fan does not work. With a high load, it also does not work. Tell me, the value of the fan connection pins (GND / +VDC / Sence / Control)?Thanks!

An hour ago i bought my yoga 510, and when i press the power button the white LED turns on for about 5 seconds then turns off, and the device doesn't boot. Should I return the unit? Or is there a solution to this?

Hey, I just purchased a Yoga 710-14IKB , running win10, and everything seemse great, except the the touchpad. It works as a pointing device, but i can do no gestures with it, and sensitivity is extremely slow. Trying to change it in settings failed as the drive dosnt seem to install correctly. Trying to install from latest driver from Lenovo fails with a "No found device" error when starting the install. Trying to install the Synaptic's manually fails as well, and only the default ELAN driver seem to succeed Any idea what the issue could be ?

Yoga -510 14IKB , screen flashing issue .. how to repair it ? And what is the reason of flashing screen , I already replaced screen Under warranty period. But after replacing it. again this issue is raised . What is the reason of happening this again and again ?

Last year I purchased a Yoga 520 14IKB 80X800Q7IN with 4 GB memory and 1 TB hard disk. The memory is inadequate and need to upgrade to 16 GB. None of the memory mentioned on lenovo support website are available on amazon.in. in india I can ony get Kingston KVR24S17D8/16 on amazon.in . Will this be compatible?https://www.kingston.com/EN/memory/search?partId=KVR24S17D8%2F16 so further on further research....Kingston memory search identifies that Kingston KCP424SD8/16 is compatible, but a specs sheet is not available https://www.kingston.com/EN/memory/search?model=97302&devicetype=3&mfr=LEN&line=Yoga alternatively, the Crucial Advisor http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/compatible-upgrade-for/Lenovo/yoga-520-14ikbis suggesting Crucial CT10541920 however, in india the part available is CT16G4SFD824A.

Hello!I've got a problem with my lenovo yoga 530 laptop. Every time there's some pop up window (e.g. taking out usb), it kinda freezes and doesn't go away until I turn my laptop on and off or restart it. I couldn't find a similar problem anywhere else so I haven't tried anything to fix it yet...Here's an example of how it looks like (and the pop up stays there wherever I go or whatever I do). I'll be thankfull for any advice!

Is there any way to get higher than 1080p resolution on an external monitor through HDMI from a Yogo 150 14-IKB? I've just bought a monitor that can do up to 2560x1440 @ 60Hz (as it can when connected to my other laptop which has a 16" screen that natively runs 1366x768, using AMD Radeon R5 graphics) but it appears that the Yoga 520-14IKB can't do so. What I've tried so far is to update the drivers on the Yoga for my new monitor, so that Windows 10 doesn't use the default PnP monitor driver, but this didn't immediately unlock any other settings. The default maximum resolution through the output is 1920x1080, which means that pixel size on the external (24") monitor is >1.5x pixel size on my laptop screen (14"). I've looked at the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel (as it runs Intel HD 610 graphics), and I can add this extra resolution as a custom resolution, but the monitor claims the signal is out of range when I try the 2560x1440 (60Hz) that I can get from the other graphics chipset. Is there anything else to try?

A:Yoga 520-14IKB HDMI output

Actually, though further inspection on my 15.6" laptop, the output is downsampled in software before going through HDMI at a 1920x1080 resolution, which is what the monitor can use, so it looks like it might be a driver issue rather than anything hardware related.

I use this software on desktop without any problem and I bough this notebook for on the go but it show black screen when edit video. My detail notebook is https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/th/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/yoga-series/yoga-520-14ikb-type-81c... Would you please be so kind and advice?

Hello, I have an issue with my laptop as it is not turning on. When plugging in the charger cable, the small light indicates that it is plugged in. When I tried opening it by pressing on the switch on button, the light lit up but did not open. The laptop's battery is not external hence i cannot remove/ and plug it again without opening the laptop personally and that would void the warranty. I want to avoid sending it repair since they take a very long time to fix and return the laptop and I need it for daily use. Help please !
